Chapter 282
When they arrived at the palace gate, they saw that there were indeed candles flickering inside, and two figures were sticking together, whispering sweet nothings to each other!
He immediately sprang into action, kicking the palace door open to capture the person.
Who could have guessed that the people inside the hall were His Majesty and Miss Liu...?
More than twenty eunuchs entered the hall, each carrying a palace lantern. In an instant, the entire Siqing Hall was as bright as day, revealing Song Xuan, who was bare-chested, and Shen Qingnian, whose face was flushed.
Fortunately, when the eunuchs saw that it was Song Xuan, they immediately knelt down and lowered their heads, so that Shen Qingnian was not too embarrassed.
Song Xuan straightened his collar, his face grim as he stared at Xia Zi on the ground. Shen Qingnian had already broken free from his embrace and stood far away, looking as if she was afraid of getting involved with him.
“Xiao Xiazi,” Song Xuan’s tone was sinister, carrying a chilling aura that could make anyone lose their head, causing all the eunuchs in the hall to tremble.
"Your Majesty, spare my life," Xia Zi pleaded boldly, his voice tinged with panic and grievance.
It's really not his fault. How could he have known that His Majesty and Miss Liu had that kind of fetish? Now it's impossible for him to back out.
Shen Qingnian: "......"
His reputation was completely ruined.
Song Xuan rubbed his temples, then pulled Shen Qingnian, who was standing far away, over and said, "From now on, you shall change your name to Little Blind Man."
That night, Song Xuan carried Shen Qingnian through the window back to the Golden Palace. He wanted to stay overnight, but Shen Qingnian chased him away without hesitation.
If he stays any longer, he might ruin his reputation in his later years.
Song Xuan left with a lot of resentment. He had no choice but to go back to the Imperial Study to embroider double-sided embroidery. Xia Xiazi was forced to kneel outside the Imperial Study for half an hour before being ordered to get up.

The next day, Shen Qingnian didn't get up until noon. She had been up and about in Siqing Palace for half the night and was quite tired, so she slept a little longer. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager had exempted her from copying every day.
Seeing that she had stirred on the bed, Xiaoju, who was guarding inside the hall, stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Miss, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell?"
Miss usually gets up early, but today she slept until noon, and she was a little worried about her.
Shen Qingnian lazily replied, "I'm perfectly fine, you don't need to worry."
Xiaoju breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then said, "Madam, Miss, and the young prince have all come several times. They are all worried about Miss because she hasn't gotten up yet."
Everyone thought the young lady was unwell, especially the youngest young lady, who almost ran to Yongshou Palace to ask for medicine again. Fortunately, the madam was quick-witted and stopped her.
Shen Qingnian felt a warmth in her heart upon hearing this, and she instructed Xiaoju, "Bring in some water."
Xiaoju went outside the hall to fetch water.
Soon, Shen Qingnian got out of bed with Xiaoju's help. It was already noon, so she had lunch with her two little ones and her mother.
During the meal, the two little ones confirmed with her several times that she was not sick before they breathed a sigh of relief and began to eat properly.
After dinner, Shen Qingnian played with the two little ones for a while before taking the chilled rice cakes she had made in the small kitchen and heading towards the Imperial Study.
